Kalia had her 3 year check-up last week. She now weighs 29 1/2 pounds and is 35 1/4” tall.

She was up-to-date on all shots, so only had to get one for the flu. And, miraculously, no fluid in her ears!

Still very delayed, but is progressing nicely.

She can:

Potty on the toliet when taken (doesn’t usually tell us when she needs to go, but has no problem using the toliet if we get her there in time…#1 & #2.)

Kicks a ball, but not far as her balance is still off and she doesn’t lift her leg too far off the ground.

Walks up stairs with alternating feet (holding onto rail)

Scribbles

Puts on clothing independently (still has trouble with shirts & socks, but does get them on eventually)

Beginning to play interactively with other children

Has absolutely NO FEAR while playing on playground equipment (she often forgets she’s limited by balance issues and attempts to do things we’re not really comfortable with her doing). Slides are still her favorite.

Much more social….will venture away from us (though not far) and play with & alongside other children

Becoming more & more independent. We’re fighting with her to hold our hand in parking lots….doesn’t want to ride in shopping carts (prefers to walk beside), etc…

Quote of the Day

PHIL 6:6-9

6) Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7) And the peace of God which transcends all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. 8) Finally,brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable - if anything is excellent or praiseworthy - think about such things. 9) Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me - put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
